(the) clay
"Pigeon" and "clay pigeon" are on the way out, in my experience. Even the world-leading "The Clay Pigeon Company" in the U.K. refers to these as "clays" these days -- see the first link at page 4 and later. Second link is from Cabela's, the leading retailer of hunting and shooting equipment in the U.S.
When "clay" is not being used, it's usually because "clay target" is.

I'm assuming from the context of some device showing how far the shooter is in front of "dua" that it's clays we're talking about and not live birds.

I believe this may be either a pigeon or a clay pigeon. See link below.

: Well, those pesky Swedes apparently hired a translator who used "clay pigeon" in marketing the product in question, aka the Redring Shotgun Sight: http://redringsight.com/shot-simulator/redring-shooting-inst...
